Dungeons done right: The rotating labyrinth
Over Christmas James Eck, a games designer and fantasy novelist, put together a dungeon with an interesting spin. The labyrinth actually spins.

Second The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer
It’s a Happy New Year from New York’s Times Square and Sony pictures are treating us by putting in a Spider-man and one seriously amped Electro. The question is whether The Amazing Spider-Man copes well with the two big villains or whether it gets too bitty and uncoordinated. That’s a fate some fans suggest was […]
